Midnight Fright...



I recently received information regarding a special midnite screening of the original FRIGHT NIGHT. Here are those precious details...

When:
September 19th, 2008

Where:
The legendary Nuart Theatre
11272 Santa Monica Blvd
Los Angeles, CA 90025
(310) 281-8223

The event will be hosted by Tim Sullivan and features personal appearances by Tom Holland and members of the cast.

Let's hope this is the first of many frightful affairs. Perhaps if there is enough attention on the film, Sony will recognize the fan base and their desire for a special edition re-issue.

Signing out.

Obviously, this event doesn't deal entirely with the Fright Night world, but the appearance of filmmakers Tom Holland and Tommy Lee Wallace make it essential. Not to mention all of the other terrific guests in attendance! I wish I were going!

I would love to hear from anyone attending this event. Comments and photos are welcome from all. Inform fellow Fright Nighters about your experience!
